The area is very quiet, which I wanted, but 15-20 minute walk to Bangkok and Khaosan Road, with a couple restaurants and 7-11 in close walking distance. You can get pretty much anywhere in Bangkok from here for 150-200 baht in a Grab car, airport a little more. The apartment is a good size, clean and comfortable and I felt safe staying there with the owners staying next door. It was nice to have a refrigerator, toaster and hot water kettle. The hosts were very sweet and went above and beyond in offering help to make me feel welcomed.
